Trading My Ex for His Uncle (Nyla)

Damon's expression remained indifferent. "I've said it before: once you personally apologize to Nyla, Prospectus Technology and the Preston Group will resume their cooperation." Nathaniel gritted his teeth, clearly frustrated that Damon was still fixated on this issue after so long. His face darkened. "Damon, after all these years of brotherhood, must you make things so ugly?" Rebecca's expression flickered briefly. Sitting nearby with her head lowered, she was not noticed by either of the men.

"You made things ugly yourself. Apologize, or leave now. Prospectus Technology will never work with the Preston Group again," Damon stated dismissively.

Damon's cold demeanor felt like a personal affront to Nathaniel as if Damon were disregarding their years of friendship entirely. In that case, Nathaniel decided it was pointless to make things harder for himself. He stood up and looked down at Damon, his voice icy. "Damon, you will regret this. I won't come begging again, and we are no longer brothers!"

He turned and walked out.

Rebecca glanced at Damon hesitantly. Seeing his cold gaze, she involuntarily shrank and followed Nathaniel out.

Once in the car, Nathaniel's expression remained a scowl. He slammed the steering wheel and cursed under his breath, unable to believe that Damon would jeopardize their long-standing brotherhood over Nyla.

Noticing his anger, Rebecca bit her lip and spoke softly. "Nathaniel, maybe you should apologize to Nyla... After all, you and Damon have been friends for so long, and the cooperation between the Preston Group and Prospectus Technology is very important..." Under Nathaniel's frosty gaze, her voice grew quieter until it trailed off completely.

Nathaniel sneered. "Apologize to Nyla? Does she even deserve that?"

Rebecca's eyes glinted before she sighed. "As long as she's around, if you don't apologize, Damon

probably won't resume cooperation with the Preston Group. And

although my health has improveli ne

a

bit recently, I can't be sure when it might deteriorate again... Ljust hope you and Damon can reconcile,

considering your years of

friendship..."

A hint of malice crossed Nathaniel's face. He had initially decided against harming Nyla because she was Damon's interest.

However, since she was impacting both his relationship with Damon and the cooperation between their companies, it seemed she needed to be dealt with.

Observing Nathaniel's dark

expression and sensing his resolve, Rebecca chose not to press further She understood that pushing too hard might not only jeopardize her goals but also expose her true intentions to Nathaniel, which would be counterproductive.

After a brief silence, Nathaniel appeared to reach a decision. He started the car and drove off, dropping Rebecca at her destination before heading straight to the company. Rebecca smiled as she watched Nathaniel's car disappear from view. Once Nathaniel had taken care of Nyla, she planned to inform Damon and capitalize on the situation.

If Nathaniel had been as devoted to her as she might have hoped, perhaps she would have felt guilty about her plans. However, reflecting on his recent attitude toward her, her gaze turned icy.

...

Back at the company, Nathaniel immediately summoned Troy to his office.

"Get in touch with Steven!" he ordered.

Seeing Nathaniel's icy expression, Troy felt a pang of unease. "Mr. Preston, after the termination of the

with Prospectus

Technology, the Preston Group has suffered significant losses. If we go after Nyla now and Mr. Sumner finds out..."

Nathaniel sneered. "Only by removing Nyla will there be a chance for the Preston Group and Prospectus Technology to continue working together."
